United seems the perfect move for Bale to get back to his best and the Premier League has been the ideal stage for him in the past.

The Welshman’s peak form arguably came in his final season with Tottenham and if he can rediscover that kind of form in a United shirt and help them win trophies next season, he’ll be a Ballon d’Or contender again for sure.

United have also been linked with Bale’s team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, but a more natural wide-man seems ideal for Jose Mourinho’s side’s needs right now.
